    Which budget cooler to couple with the i5-2500k and ASUS P8Z68-V PRO

    I am getting both at the same price at $23 after a NewEgg discount! I use the Corsair Vengeance Low Profile, so spacing is not an issue. http://www.corsair.com/memory-by-product-family/vengeance/vengeance-low-profile-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cml8gx3m2a1600c9.html However, is there a...

    Which budget cooler to couple with the i5-2500k and ASUS P8Z68-V PRO

    Right now, I have both that I got at $23 with tax and shipping: Cooler Master Hyper 212 plus Cooler CORSAIR CAFA70 120mm Dual-Fan CPU Cooler ($15 MIR) However much I would like to keep both, perhaps I would be returning the 212+. Before I do that, some questions: 0. In most...

    Recommendations on reliable monitor

    Sorry for going at a tangent, but how does this $230 before taxes and fees monitor "look" like: http://www.frys.com/product/6693564?site=sa:adpages%20page:3 I would indeed be watching movies and playing games, but wavering on that sub-$200 budget and 6 feet requirement :-D

    RAID0 reliability on ASUS P8Z68-V PRO vs ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3

    I agree, but because of my credit card warranty, it becomes a non-issue. I am sure glad when I noticed this one :D One question: is a "bare drive" aka for OEM? I am afraid to order MB and HDD from online sites as the vibration during transit can reduce the reliability a lot! You...

    RAID0 reliability on ASUS P8Z68-V PRO vs ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3

    I am stuck on deciding between ASUS P8Z68-V PRO vs ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3. Fry's does not stock ASRock and Microcenter is OOS on the ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3. I would prefer buying the CPU and MB from them rather than NewEgg(ease of replacement). Four questions: 1. As I will not be...

    SandyBridge system prices expected to drop any further?

    Thanks so much for doing my homework for me. Hmm, no Asrock then, but if you don't mind, what do you think this is like: 1. i5-2500K + P8Z68-V PRO bundle at MC for $350 2. 8GB 1600MHz DUAL CORSAIR VENGEANCE #CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9, UPC:843591010801 for $40 AR A bit more pricier, but "higher...

    SandyBridge system prices expected to drop any further?

    Appreciate your indepth reply! You don't see prices falling anymore? Gigabyte has not moved to uefi bios yet - future upgrade at risk. AsRock boards have tremendous value for money and the ones I have list 2 yrs ltd. warranty and my credit card will increase it by a year more. Which...

    SandyBridge system prices expected to drop any further?

    Would it be worth waiting for a few more months to buy a SandyBridge build? DDR3 prices seem to have hit rock bottom (2x4GB sometimes for $20 AR!) and the i5-2500k can often be had for $150 at MicroCenter I am thinking of buying: 1. i5-2500k I wanted to ask if the IGP inside this is enough...
